How Much Would You Pay for the New Assistants?

Lysette · March 2016

1,000 to 2,000 Crowns

1000-1500 crowns would have been reasonable and I would have bought both - but now I will buy none of them.

TheBrownWiener · March 2016

5,000 Crowns is Fine

Would I prefer less, sure.
Especially for the vendor, but I honestly expected 5,000 when they were announced. So I was not shocked.

Seriously?- I can buy a complete triple-A game for the price of such an assistant - so what do you think I will go for?

PlagueMonk · March 2016

It's convenience, nothing more. I will be just fine running to the bank and stopping at the local merchant along the way.

SOOOOOO..........I would be willing to pay nothing but have no problems with Zenimax choosing to charge what they are for the assistants. Pay it or don't but STOP freakin' QQing over a convenience item.

Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

Edit: Honestly (and I acknowledge this is just my opinion), the assistants are probably the most useless thing selling in the Crown Store right now. I've spent gold and crowns on bank and storage space across three characters including one mule. My bank space is maxed out.

At this point, if I can't carry something to a wayshrine and then take it to either the bank or a merchant, I just don't need it at all.

Meh.

Less Than 1,000 Crowns

Less than 1000 is my hope, I would go as high as 1000 for sure, more than that wouyld make me second guess the decision.

I know they are a for profit company, but I would bet a weeks pay if I had a weeks pay lol, that they would have sold more at 2k than they will at 5k, and made a lot more money.

You can actually, kinda, see that in the survey responses. (Both mine and the one @UrQuan posted.)

Yeah, I'd say the 2 surveys show that pretty well. For anyone who hasn't voted in the other one, here's the link (you won't see it on the front page ever because the thread got closed by a mod):

To be honest I'm baffled that this thread is still going given the reasoning they gave for why they closed the other survey. Hopefully they won't close and sink this survey too.

I can't think of a situation that the assistants would be all that beneficial compared to just going to the find a merchant or banker. If the world in ESO was massive and back tracking were more difficult and/or detrimental I could see more appeal.

It's a pet with some functions so maybe 1,000 max but it should be 700-800

IcyDeadPeople · March 2016

Does the banker provide access to guild bank and guild store? If so, would be handy for anyone who has a big bounty.

No, he only provides access to your personal bank.

Ah, too bad. Regular bank is already easily available in the outlaw refuge. What I really need is guild bank and guild store access, currently only available in Coldharbour if you have a bounty.

Will the necropotence max magicka bonus apply?

Cyrodiil also has bankers with Guild Store access, if you're in that kind of a situation.

I was kind of expecting 5k for the pair, not individually. That bit did catch me off guard.

5,000 Crowns is Fine

I'm more upset that you can't access guild stores and repair more so than the price.

Yeah, I actually hadn't noticed those limitations on PTS. With those two in mind, I would expect somewhere between 1,000 and 1,500.

I'd Pay in Game Gold; Not Real Money

I hate the idea that they introduce something the only way to get which is paying real money. The game can start looking like one of those thrashy donate f2p things.

WalkingLegacy · March 2016

Convenience items need to be conveniently priced or I don't ever humor the thought of buying them.

I have yet to buy any in this game.

Unfortunately, no Guild Store access at the Cyrodiil banker, just guild bank.

Coldharbour is the only place in Tamriel with guild store access for criminals.

Fixed that for you.

Huh. I stand corrected. Which probably says far more about how often I screw up as a thief.

5,000 Crowns Would Be Fine, If They Were a Bundle

I have been saving my crowns for the assistants, but I figured on about 2500 a piece max. So a 5k bundle would be what I consider to be the high side of reasonable, but I'm not sure if I'd buy them at that price or not. Anyway, I can now spend my crowns on something else. I'd like that cat mount, but I'm guessing that will be over priced too. So maybe I'll get some of those new outfits now and maybe even a camel. *spit*

phairdon · March 2016

Less Than 1,000 Crowns

500 crowns at most (IMO). 5000 is way over priced in my opinion - $58for a assistant or banker.

Mason22 · March 2016

1,000 Crowns tops

I think the price is right, you only need to buy it one time and its super convenient, especially those who dont have much time aka Casuals.

Tommy1979AtWar · March 2016

Not Interested At All

They'd be handy to have on the rare occasion I'm caught with a full bag in an area far from a wayshrine, heading to town and sorting my inventory is a relaxing and welcome break from the grind anyway, I'd have rather these had been someting you could earn access to by completing a quest line, there's no way I'd pay 5000 crowns each, fools and their money are easily parted though so zos is laughing all the way to the bank with this one.

Runs · March 2016

Its kind of silly, the cost, when it would be half the price of one of the assistants to just purchase a second account(when on sale) to mail your items to.

Yeah, also missed that they were that limited. Knowing that I would probably only buy it with in game gold.

Rofl.. you make them sound like devils themselves. I'm not pissed at them though, I'm positive they will offer other stuff I'll buy at some point

Reykice · March 2016

1,000 to 2,000 Crowns

With 200 bag slots i don`t feel its needed but for a reasonable price i`d buy it as its marginally useful and keeps the game going.

For 5k tho no. A DLC Is 2-3k and has stuff i want to see/so, this is just an item you rarely use if at all, so no way its worth 2 dlc`s.

SlayerTheDragon · March 2016

1,000 to 2,000 Crowns

They fail so hard at this:

Sell 50 @ 5000 crowns, or sell 1 000 @ 1500 crowns....

This overpriced crown store crap is getting to me. Just waiting to see the price of the Dro M'Athra Senche.
